I am not particularly into art but it was interesting to see some of contrasting pieces in particular (Charlie Brown cartoon with picture of artwork rhino). The prices reflect a combination of the art quality and the clientele who live here. One of the locals who worked here, probably a son of the museum owner, was nice enough to make small talk with me but I also convinced him to tell me more about Maison Villatte.

Field Gallery is a great side trip when visiting Martha's Vineyard…read more Lots of fun and interesting outdoor sculptures. (No fee to enter the sculpture garden) The indoor gallery has smaller sculptures and paintings. Unfortunately, the items are way out of my budget. However, it's fun to just view the entire gallery. Parking availability is on the street.

The glass artists who show here are world renown. Stunning engraved glass bowls layered with multitudes of color, or etched and engraved work, all demonstrate the very best of glass blowing techniques. It's like a glass museum in the most lovely green and grassy setting. stop for a visit and enjoy the art and magic of the glass.

The owner is very knowledgeable, with a strong interest in textiles, ceramics and crafts. She travels during the winter in order to find new emerging artists, but she also features the best local artists. Prices run the gamut from affordable to out of sight. Openings are fun and friendly. The staff is really helpful, too. This gallery has stood the test of time, and it deserves a shout out. If you enjoy discovering new artists and meeting new people, come to an opening at the Shaw Cramer Gallery. I'll see you there.

On the red walls you might discover a zebra nonchalantly posing in a box. Or, perhaps an extravagant floral headpiece atop a beauty's head. My favorite this year was the addition of finely created Vineyard landscapes. When I first came upon Horowitz's work, I imagined his pieces in an elegant traditional home. He captures the real essence of Vineyard, the rarely observed locations unlike many other art works traditionally offered here. I always feel better after a walk around in this Gallery. If you haven't experienced Elizabeth Eisenhauer, you are in for a real treat with a gal who is respectful, entertaining and loaded with information about most anything relative to art trends and other well thought of venues on the Vineyard.

The Eisenhauer offers some of the most sophisticated art in Edgartown- even island wide. There are so many galleries in Edgartown but do yourself a favor and make a point of stopping in here. You won't find those wishy washy scenes of lighthouses, tentatively painted and overpriced. You WILL find bold, exciting and "must-have" pieces, perfect for your island summer home. Every single thing in here would look GREAT in my new place. Just saving up my hard earned pennies to make it a reality.

It is a bit pricey but reasonable and there are still quite a few pieces that I wish I could have taken home with me, especially the Paul Hamilton ice cream pieces.

All of the staff there were amazing as well. The museum had a small but serviceable section on Jaws and I appreciated the movie clips that they had. As a history teacher I appreciated the sections on the history of the island and the shipwrecks around the area. Overall we spend about a little over an hour there. It was a nice time but for $21 for adults I did find it to be on the higher end of museums I've been to. But if you're in the area and have the time I do recommend stopping by.
